A list and a description of 10 free software tools every IT pro needs.

Working in the IT business for many years now has taught me several things, not the least of which is how to find good free software. Many of the tools I list here I use on a daily basis. I, like most others in IT, am always looking for a new shortcut or program to help me along. You will find that several of these have very practical applications for the everyday user as well.

These are just a few of the many great applications out there for IT professionals and PC users alike. But these particular tools have made a huge impact on my everyday work.

    I have to list this one first because I probably use it the most. LogMeIn is a remote system for your computer systems. Basically it works by installing a client on the computer you wish to be accessible, it will then associate itself with your account. When you login to your account on the website you will see that computer in your inventory list and whether or not it is available to connect. You will need administrator rights on the computer to log in. There are also some cool scripts that will automate the install for you so you don’t even have to enter your account info every time you want to install it, which is great for mass deployment.
